MASSAGE THERAPY
Discover the Science of Touch: How Massage Therapy Heals
At South Slope, we believe in the profound power of touch and the science behind it. Our massage therapy is not just about relaxation; it's a therapeutic approach rooted in scientific principles. By triggering the release of endorphins and serotonin, our techniques help reduce anxiety, depression, and pain.
By manipulating soft tissues, we enhance blood flow, more efficiently delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscles and organs. Thus, we promote overall health and accelerate recovery from injuries. Specialized techniques like myofascial release target connective tissue (fascia), alleviating chronic pain and improving mobility.
Additionally, massage stimulates the lymphatic system, which is crucial for removing toxins and waste, boosting the immune system, and reducing swelling and inflammation. Our therapists' deep understanding of neuromuscular structure allows them to address imbalances and dysfunctions, correct postural issues, and relieve pain.
Beyond the physical benefits, regular sessions improve mental clarity, reduce fatigue, and promote a sense of calm and well-being. Experience the transformative power of our massage therapy at South Slope, where science and touch come together to enhance your physical and mental health.

What Makes Our Massage Therapy Exceptionally Effective for Optimal Wellness?
What sets our clinic's massage therapy apart is the exceptional expertise of our Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapists (LMBT). Our board-certified therapists possess extensive training in anatomy and physiology, giving them a deep understanding of the body's neuromuscular structure.
This advanced knowledge makes our therapists therapeutically effective, far surpassing the capabilities of most general massage therapists.
At South Slope, our LMBTs employ a diverse array of hands-on techniques, including Swedish massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization, neuromuscular therapy, and rehabilitation exercises.
This comprehensive approach ensures we can effectively address a wide range of conditions such as headaches, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, anxiety, back pain, hip and shoulder pain, and post-accident injuries.
Our therapists are dedicated to relieving pain, rehabilitating injuries, reducing stress, and enhancing overall wellness, providing unparalleled therapeutic benefits.
Common Questions About
Massage Therapy
Do I need to do anything to prepare for a massage?
It's best to be well-hydrated and to avoid eating a heavy meal right before your session. Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to discuss your health history and any specific issues you want to address with your therapist.
What should I expect during a massage session?
During a massage session, you will lie on a comfortable table, under a sheet. Your therapist will use various techniques to manipulate your muscles and soft tissues. Communication with your therapist about pressure and areas of focus ensures a comfortable and effective experience.
How often should I get a massage?
The frequency of massage sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. For general wellness, once a month is beneficial. For chronic pain or specific issues, weekly or bi-weekly sessions might be more effective. Your therapist can recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.
